Cisco Systems 350 Manual Do Utilizador

This section describes the key features of the access point:

Inline power

Omni-directional antennas

Ethernet and serial ports

Indicators

Industrial temperature range and UL 2043 rating for 350 series metal case access point

Cisco Aironet 350 series access points receive power through the Ethernet cable, so you do not need to 
run a separate power cord to the access point. Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back 
of the access point and plug the other end into one of three possible power sources:

A Cisco Aironet power injector

A switch with inline power, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR-XL switch

A power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel

Cisco Aironet 340 series access points rely on a separate power supply plugged into the power port on 
the back of the access point.

Cisco Aironet power injectors are designed for use with 350 series access points and bridges only. Using 
the power injector with other Ethernet-ready devices can damage the equipment.

Cisco Aironet Power Injectors are not rated for operation in a building’s environmental air space, such 
as above suspended ceilings. 

The operational voltage range for Cisco Aironet 350 series access points and bridges is 24 to 60 VDC. 
Higher voltage can damage the equipment.

The access point’s omni-directional, 2.2 dBi antennas provide diversity coverage for your wireless LAN 
area. Diversity coverage helps maintain a clear radio signal between the access point and wireless client 
devices. Just as you can improve signal clarity on your car radio at a stoplight by creeping ahead a few 
inches, the access point can improve signal quality by choosing the antenna that is receiving the best 
signal from a client device.

Some access points models are equipped with dual reverse-polarity TNC connectors that you can use to 
connect to your own antennas for special applications.
